Shouldn't remove legacy items. Period. Some of them offer so much of an advantage that it's genuinely unfair to people who don't want to cheat via account sharing to not be able to get one. It eventually only became tolerable once most of the items became pure novelty (Manastone is useful up until after PoP, if you knew how to make full use of it)

There's already so many changes to p99 to compensate for the uncontrollable shitty behavior from the community (variant timers, quakes, having to actually have GM enforced raiding rules, etc) that leaving in some things that will only add to the server population because people WILL play just to be able to farm one themselves. Same with Guise, Rubi, LR armor, etc.

Lotta people don't have the time to even make it to the appropriate level to farm the items themselves before they're removed. Things like legacy items only favor people like myself who work from home on their own schedule and can play as many hours a day as they want.

_______________
Another tip most people just won't think of...invite everyone you see until the group is full. 6 people gunning for mobs and splitting exp is gonna be a LOT quicker to get out of newbie areas than trying to kill things solo and getting killsteals or constant downtime.

(I'm not reading the entire thread, so sorry for repeated points)

I am sad I am just now seeing this post from Naala, I will have to think on this some and post some helpful info. But Naala OP is very spot on.

One quick tidbit, and this sounds odd coming from an SK main.. Avoid Hybrids(bards are probably ok) if you can. It sucks but if you like playing with your friends, your going to hold them back. That Xp hit is huge, I had to play tons of extra hours to keep up with those I loved to lvl with. Tanking whites/yellow/red in Banded/Bronze is not a solid viable strat. Plus in long run Warriors are soooo much more needed come Kunark/velious. SK/Pally become add tanks, and mana pools for Enc to mana tap....

Will say SK/Pally are fun to play though!

The class XP penalty is sort of divided across the group, so it really becomes a single-digit percentage. Doesn't really matter much. Considering how vastly superior hybrids are as tanks in leveling content, I'd always take a knight over a warrior. Warriors really are absolute trash outside of raids, and doubly so before they even get high-end weapons with good ratios and proper aggro procs.

Tanking in banded/bronze is just a matter of not foolishly insisting on leveling off of red mobs on a fresh server. That's a player problem.

The Xp is split between the group, hence your going to force them to lvl way slower, and the amount of times I would be in a 6 man group with say a bard or ranger. Those groups got awful xp. I 100% agree Knights crap all over warriors in Classic and in groups. But if your goal is to play with friends when you can, they are probably going to out lvl you unless you 100% play the same times. I spent tons and tons of hours soloing to make sure I kept up with my friends. But again at least SK could solo[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] a 60% xp hit vs a 10% int caster or 0% druid/shmmy/cleric. Its nearly impossible to keep up.

Lol tanked to 50 in bronze minus like 4 pieces, fighting whites/yellows/red it's doable just not done by the average player. Which again Avg player meaning 80% of p99 player base.
